Re: [Phpgroupware-users] Scalability.

[Chris Weiss]

600 users simultanious?  You'll need some apache tweaking, get one of the 
webserver
benchmark/stress test scripts and tweak apache to make sure apache neevr uses 
more
memory than the server has available.  A default packaged apache+php typicaly 
uses
40 meg or more per connection, so you will at least want to disable any features
you don't specificaly need, and might consider compiling it yourself, though 
that
can get complicated.

MySql 3.x is ideal to power a web site, but it's a little slow under a lot of
writes.  Might consider using pgsql.

These are just general sugestions, I've never run phpgw under that kind of load.
